CHAPTER SIX

Roentgen was burning up that's why I called an ambulance. We got to the hospital at 11:00 P.M and still he was unconscious. The doctor at the E.R said they needed him to be checked time to time that's why he was transferred at the intensive care unit. I waited at the waiting area as I cry. This was all my fault, if I haven't faked everything this won't happen that Roen will be searching the missing half of his life. But I still faked everything just to make him secured and be at peace. But the peace I imagined and set was not permanent.

"How long will you keep him from the truth?" a guy spoke, I wiped my tears to see him clearly and it was Keith Jaö.

He handed me a coffee and he sat with me. He caressed my back like he never did something bad. Why does he needed to comeback? Ghosts from the pasts needed to be remained from the past. They should not interfere to the present.

"Keith why did you comeback?" I asked as I gave him an evil stare.

I wanted to punch him for making things worse. He promised me not to comeback in exchange for peace.

"Answer me first, How long--" I didn't let him continue because I immediately grabbed his shirt and pushed him.

No one can hear us. The room is empty, and I've been wanting to kill this devil for the past 5 years.

"Damn you! It's just because of that stupid love of yours, you wanted to comeback. Tell me Keith, Now!" I shouted.

A nurse came by and shooed us away. I grabbed his arms and I decided it settle it at the parking area.

"Now speak." I said as I let him go.

"You're so selfish. I loved him and I should be the one taking good care of him!" He shouted.

"You have no right to love him after what you did." I said calmly.

"It wasn't my fault. It was Kenneth, he was the one who let the car crashed and in the end he died because of the conscience was haunting him down." He said as his eyes shred tears.

"He should be, he was a reckless driver." I said sarcasticly.

"But in the first place, he wouldn't come with Kenneth if not because of your stupid deadline of your manuscript." He shouted.

"So your blaming me?" I asked.

"Sort of and now you took advantage of the recklessness of my brother and the memories of Francis!" He shouted.

I didn't controlled my temper anymore. I already punched him. He punched me back and I don't care if someone will see us. If someone does, he should stop us because one might be dead this hour. Keith was so stupid thinking about love this time. Keith was an old lover of Roentgen. Both of them were not straight but Roen doesn't love him back although Keith was so persistent about having him.

The accident happened because of me, I was sicked during the deadline of my manuscript. That's why Roen, was forced to deliver it on his own even if I didn't told him to do so. On his way, he saw Keith's brother driving his car. Kenneth, offered him a ride and without knowing Kenneth was drunk and he crashed the car.

"Let's just stop this. I'm sorry." I said as I cancelled my last punch.

Keith was covered with blood and his eyes werr half seen because of the swollen skin. It's pointless, I should be the one letting this passed because I knew it was just stupidity.

"Keith, don't be selfish. If I was like you, I wouldn't take good care of him because after all he can't remember what he promised to me.

"You're right I'm sorry, if I am selfish. I guess fate doesn't want me to be with him. But how long will you keep him the truth?" He asked calmly and I helped him stand up.

"As long as I can, I will keep it." I replied and we both went to the E.R to let ourselves be attend by the nurse.

"But it would be unfair to you. His promise, won't you want that to happen?" He asked as we walk.

"He promised me to give me a chance to show how much I love him and he already gave that to me when he lost his memories and as long as I can show my affection to him by the means of taking care of him, it would be okay to me."

"Why are you like that? You're being confident that he would remember everything. What if he does but he doesn't want to fulfill that promise anymore?" He then asked again.

" I am aware of that and I am not afraid when that time comes instead, I am thankful because once in my life I met him and I was his friend. Love is not supposedly to be selfish. So if that time comes, I am willing to let go of it and be his friend forever. Our friendship is more than important than the promise he gave to me. " I answered him and I gave him a warm smile.

"I guess I should go, don't worry about me. I can handle myself now. You should take good care of him Nicolas, he's all yours." He said and left without entering at the emergency room.
